Good Morning!
The rich got richer this year and Canada’s billionaires were no exception.
According to Forbes’ 35th annual ranking of the world’s wealthiest people, released Wednesday, 9 out of the top 10 Canadian billionaires increased their wealth this year, even as the pandemic raged around them.
David Thomson, chairman of media company Thomson Reuters Corp., and family once again claimed the crown as Canada’s richest with US$41.8-billion net worth, up from US$31.6 billion last year. That makes Thomson the 33rd richest person in the world.
